Entry 81-1 Teardown / Data 2 min ↩ back to the timeline

Test in production, national edition

An eerily empty Sunday street traces back to the labor reform's doubled holiday pay, and the software vocabulary lands hard: a nation-scale change shipped with no pilot, no staging environment, and a shock instead of a gradient.

// trace: where this idea came from

It starts as a sensation: Sunday morning, post-gym, and the street is desert-quiet ▸ 1:47. Then the connection sparks: his dad’s photo of McPollo announcing Sunday closures, the labor reform (Ley 2466 de 2025) phasing Sunday surcharges up to 100% by 2027. The critique writes itself: most people are free to spend only on weekends, so pricing Sunday labor out doesn’t redistribute commerce, it amputates it ▸ 4:54.

What makes the entry is the vocabulary he reaches for, because it’s his profession’s: “es como hacer una prueba en producción” ▸ 15:03. No pilot city, no staging environment, no A/B: “la pensé en mi mente, para mí en mi mente esto funciona perfecto, pongámosla y vamos a ver qué pasa” ▸ 16:03. Even the phased 80/90/100 rollout starts with the shock, not the gradient, why not creep from 150% and find the sweet spot? ▸ 16:42. And the cited inspirations, France, Denmark, turn out on inspection to charge more moderate surcharges atop far richer safety nets ▸ 29:58.

Julia's friction: a visible "Sunday tax" on the menu enrages customers either way

la ley se compila en la calle, no en el papel →

The session closes with the analyst’s humility rather than the pundit’s certainty: maybe McPollo’s closure is part protest, maybe there are tax interactions they can’t see, “hay muchas variables que no estamos teniendo en cuenta” ▸ 48:36. But the observable regression is already in: the echo of a law, audible in an empty street…
